</pre>
<p>Notice that the value <code>999</code> returns Intermediate. Values consisting of a number of digits equal to or less than the max value are considered intermediate. This is intended because the digit that prevents a number from being in range is not necessarily the last digit typed. This also means that an intermediate number can have leading zeros.</p>
<p>The minimum and maximum values are set in one call with <a href="qintvalidator.html#setRange">setRange</a>(), or individually with <a href="qintvalidator.html#bottom-prop">setBottom</a>() and <a href="qintvalidator.html#top-prop">setTop</a>().</p>
<p>QIntValidator uses its <a href="qvalidator.html#locale">locale</a>() to interpret the number. For example, in Arabic locales, QIntValidator will accept Arabic digits.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>The <a href="../qtcore/qlocale.html#NumberOption-enum">QLocale::NumberOptions</a> set on the <a href="qvalidator.html#locale">locale</a>() also affect the way the number is interpreted. For example, since <a href="../qtcore/qlocale.html#NumberOption-enum">QLocale::RejectGroupSeparator</a> is not set by default, the validator will accept group separators. It is thus recommended to use <a href="../qtcore/qlocale.html#toInt">QLocale::toInt</a>() to obtain the numeric value.</p></div>
